FOL
accepts donations
of gently
used
materials
at all
CCPL locations

The Charleston Friends
of the Library relies on the community to donate gently used books, CDs, DVDs
and video games that can be sold to raise money for the Library.
|
| ||||||||
|
Donations can be
dropped off at any branch library. If customers have more than 100 books or six
boxes, they should deliver their donations to the Friends’ sorting room at the
Main Library between 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. weekdays. Customers should go to the
loading dock at the rear of the building, and ring the doorbell. If no one
answers, the items can be placed in the large drop box outside the back door.
|
| |||||||
If customers ask about
donating items, here are some helpful guidelines to share:
|
| ||||||||
Accepted:
· Gently used books and
textbooks;
· CDs, DVDs, LPs, books
on CD and video games;
· Tablets, eReaders,
cell phones and navigation systems; and
· Complete encyclopedia
sets published after 2009.
|
Not Accepted:
· Moldy, wet, torn or
damaged books;
· Out-of-date
encyclopedias, textbooks or
computer books
published before 2009; and
· VHS tapes.
|
| |||||||
Customers also can
make cash donations to help offset the staff costs and the expenses associated
with evaluating, processing and storing the donated materials. Patrons can go online to support the Friends by
becoming a member or making a tax-deductible gift.
